Deal

F- again. the bruins should recover from this around 2035.

Player-wise, don't see MTL declining this. Only problem is he is very long-term compared to Matheson, and we are so stacked at LD long-term, so not really sure they'd want a veteran at LD.

Lindholm>Matheson. Ullmark won't go to Edmonton most likely but if that's the best deal we're offered, fine. Would rather have McAvoy than Tkachuk only because Brady Can't. Play. Center. Way too much to give up for Laine, there's no guarantee he'll ever come back and play like his old self. Also, not sure players actively in the NHL players assistance program can be traded, I thought they were in limbo...

You're on a warpath today buddy, I love it 🤣

what can i say, i hate stupidity.

Eh, i mean value wise its not terrible but its not happening so wtvr.

Ottawa passes on this big time. $9.5M for a guy that does everything well, nothing at an elite level. Tkachuk is the game's premiere power forward. The closest compareable to Tkachuk would be Tom Wilson... The disparity between Tkachuk and Tom Wilson is miles apart. Tkachuk is a rare breed that can hit 80 points, finish in the top 5 in hits, fights, PIM's.... Think Eric Lindross, Keith Tkachuk, Cam Neely.

McAvoy? 12G as a defenseman? He's not elite.... outside of Vegas? You have to have a dominant defenseman. Vegas won their cup because they had two guys similar to McAvoy... Pietrangelo and Theodore.

2022 - Makar (Norris)
2021 - Hedman (Norris)
2020 - Hedman (Norris)
2019 - Pietrangelo & Parayko (2 McAvoy types)
2018 - John Carlson (Norris)
2017 - Letang
2016 - Letang
2015 - Keith (Norris)

See the pattern? When Boston won the cup? There was Chara.... That is what an elite 2-way defenseman is. McAvoy is not Zdeno Chara or anywhere compareable. Not to mention he won the Norris Trophy.... McAvoy will never win a Norris Trophy. He's not as valuable as Bruins fans like to think. He's not worth $9.5M. Wow to think peoiple really think this guy is better than Pietrangelo who won two cups on two different teams as the top defenseman on both those teams and McAvoy can't get out of the 2nd round.

See this is the type of return that would make a deal for Brady.

I think the closest comp for Brady is his brother

no, value wise it is terrible. add sanderson.

and this explains why you made this really bad ACGM.

Fine, add Swayman and Carlo.

better solution - keep your good but not great winger. bruins keep mcavoy because don sweeney has a brain. moving on.

I wasn't the one who suggested the trade. My entire point was that its not bad value for Ottawa.

Bcarlo25 at literally all times: 🤬

Jackets accept.

oh, it would be the best trade in the franchises history. duh.

No?

McAvoy is not even the best player on the Bruins, you could argue he's their third best player behind Pastrnak and Swayman.

Tkachuk is the Sens' franchise player who has a specific skillset that you find with maybe 5 players in the entire NHL.

no, mcavoy is by far the best player on the bruins. all arguments come for second place. there isn't anyone in the same stratosphere as mcavoy on the bruins.

Lol
